For, it is by far the simplest electric motor. Wind a 24 gauge, 1.5 meter long enameled copper wire, on a torch battery Fig (1). The coil should have between 10 to 20 turns. When the coil is removed from the battery, it opens up like a spring Fig (2). Tie the coil at several places with the little bits of string Fig (3). Instead of string, bits of adhesive tape can also be used. The two ends of the cold should jut diametrically outward Fig (4). As it is on these two ends that the coil will rotate, so care must be taken to ensure symmetry and even distribution of weight. Now, keep the coil in the vertical position, and scrape off the enamel from the top, the right and the left sides (3-sides). Only the bottom end of the leads will have enamel Fig (5). Do not scrape the entire insulation, but only from 3-sides of each end, otherwise the motor will not work Fig (6). The copper/enamel sequence leads to make / break of the circuit and ensures that current flows in only half the rotation of the coil. This commutator, is the heart of this simple electric motor. (continued on next page) HOW TO MAKE THE MOTOR? Cut an old stove pin into two equal parts Fig (1). With a small nail, hammer a hole in each piece near one end. Hammer one more hole in each piece about 2-cm from the other end Fig (2). Salvage an old radio speaker magnet and place it on a new battery
